| - | A ready pack is the equipment you take with you into the field.
| + | instructional points in normal font |
| - | | + | |
| - | * support you in any circumstances possible to encounter
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | * could be 24 hours without contact (24-hr ready pack)
| + | |
| - | * any type of weather could set in (or already be happening)
| + | |
| - | Some teams in an urban setting have less stringent expectations
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Pack is always ready
| + | |
| - | * don't spend 45 minutes trying to gather your stuff after you've been called-out
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | keep your ready pack pristine
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | vs. use your ready pack regularly (recommended)
| + | |
| - | * you know how to use your equipment
| + | |
| - | * you cycle items that expire
| + | |
| - | * use it for recreational, or for work, as your safety kit on vehicle trips
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
| - | ''Distribute form for students to design their own ready pack.''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The pack itself:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | volume: 20 to 35L
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | packs without frames (bags)
| + | |
| - | * cheap
| + | |
| - | * light
| + | |
| - | * very uncomfortable to carry any significant weight
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | external frames
| + | |
| - | * old style
| + | |
| - | * most new ones are junk
| + | |
| - | * cheap
| + | |
| - | * bulky
| + | |
| - | * heavy
| + | |
| - | * can carry significant weight
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | internal frames
| + | |
| - | * modern style
| + | |
| - | * metal slates inside back
| + | |
| - | ** can be bent to fit your back
| + | |
| - | * light, but not as light as bags
| + | |
| - | * can carry significant weight
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | frames distribute the weight
| + | |
| - | * typically 70% on hips, 30% on shoulders
| + | |
| - | * can change while hiking for comfort
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | adjustments
| + | |
| - | * compression straps - compresses the load, attach items to exterior
| + | |
| - | * front shoulder straps - height on back
| + | |
| - | * hip straps - fit and weight on hips
| + | |
| - | * top shoulder straps - distance and angle on back, weight on shoulders
| + | |
| - | * sternum strap - angle and position on shoulders
| + | |
| - | * side straps - sway of load
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | most important when buying a frame pack
| + | |
| - | * go to a reputable store where they'll spend 20 minutes fitting a pack to your back
| + | |
| - | * find the right size
| + | |
| - | * test with real weight in the store
| + | |
| - | * good place: Mountain Equipment Co-op
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
| - | How to pack
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Heaviest stuff low down
| + | |
| - | * so it doesn't leverage you backwards
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Heaviest stuff close to your back
| + | |
| - | * so when you turn not a lot of weight to spin
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Protect against drenching when falling/dropping in water
| + | |
| - | * 1 large bag
| + | |
| - | * or bags for everything that can get soaked/damaged
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Advantage to using lots of bags:
| + | |
| - | * bags tend to slip against each other rather than having contents tangled
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Organize into sacks
| + | |
| - | * quick to find the right sack, then right item from sack
| + | |
| - | * compression stuff sacks - make things smaller
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Mix of loose and tight sacks
| + | |
| - | * all tight: creates voids of unused space
| + | |
| - | * all loose: tangle
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | A few items clipped on the outside of the pack,
| + | |
| - | in side pockets.
| + | |
| - | What you don't want to put down pack to access.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
| - | ''have a student completely pull apart every item from an extensive ready pack (e.g. Brett's)''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Discuss what item is for.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''group discussion:'' What is the most unreasonable item in the pack? What is missing?
| + | |
